Alpha diversity indices of microbial community in caeca of turkeys. A Observed species, estimates the total number of OTUs; B Chao1, estimates the OTUs richness; C shannon index, an estimation of microbial diversity; D equability, estimates OTUs evenness. Groups are as follows: negative control (birds not inoculated with H. meleagridis), no lesion (birds inoculated with H. meleagridis that showed no lesions), mild lesion (birds inoculated with H. meleagridis that showed LS 1), severe lesion (birds inoculated with H. meleagridis that showed LS 3 or 4). Results are shown as mean ± SEM. Different letters denote statistically significant differences.
